Housing Market Trends and Forecast

I just stumbled upon a very cool interactive chart at USAToday.com. It has 5 different charts that you can alter by sliding the “slider” at the bottom of the chart. It is very interesting. You can go back through this decade and trace the boom and bust of the real estate market at specific years. You can also move the slider forward to see the author’s forecast over the next three years.

I highly encourage you to take a look….
